STARLINK

Starlink is the world’s first and largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit (LEO) to deliver broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and more. Leveraging advanced satellites and user hardware coupled with our deep experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations, Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over the world.

Most satellite internet services come from single geostationary satellites that orbit the planet at 35,786 km. As a result, the round trip data time between the user and satellite, also known as latency is high, making it nearly impossible to support streaming, online gaming, video calls or other high data rate activities. Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites that orbit the planet much closer to Earth, at about 550km, and cover the entire globe. Because Starlink satellites are in a low orbit, latency is significantly lower, around 25ms vs 600ms.

High-speed, low-latency broadband internet in remote and rural locations across the globe. MYR220/month with a one-time hardware cost of MYR2,300.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) & Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are developed to orbit between 200 km to 2,000 km above the Earth’s surface. These satellites are required to travel at about 27,000 kph to complete a full circuit of the planet in 90 to 120 minutes. In addition, LEO satellite is used for various applications, such as data communication, remote sensing, and research.

Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are launched on a precise trajectory by launch systems to circle Earth above the equator from west to east at the same speed as the Earth. GEO is used by satellites that must remain above a certain point on Earth, such as telecommunication satellites. In addition, GEO satellite networks can provide very high broadband data throughput, with up to 50 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink.

Today, nanosatellites are increasingly being adopted for developing the Internet of Things (IoT) on a global scale. They provide global connectivity, even in remote areas without land communication cover. Small satellites that were earlier used by research institutes and universities, are now being developed by the private sector to provide commercial services.

Malaysia’s Independence Day

Malaysia’s Independence Day is celebrated on August 31st. Also known as Merdeka Day (Freedom Day), this is Malaysia’s National Day. The day commemorates the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule on 31st August 1957. Selamat Hari Merdeka, Malaysia! Happy Independence Day, Malaysia!

Merdeka! Semoga kita terus mendukung keharmonian demi kecemerlangan.
